Hello umair,
While I don't recommend using Legacy OS 2 apps in Legacy OS 4 I know that a number of apps do work. Personally I recommend you boot up a live version of Legacy OS 4 and experiment to see what works and doesn't before trying to add them to your Hard Drive install.
Legacy OS 2 contains a lot of base libs Legacy OS 4 doesn't so a number of apps will complain of missing dependencies.
If you start them from terminal using the ldd command for example ldd ./gimp a long list of dependencies gimp relies on will be displayed. This list will tell you if anything is missing. Now you'll need to track down any missing dependencies which can take a bit of time, I know as I spent 100's of hours putting it all together.
I wish you luck as life for me is very busy outside of Linux which isn't giving me much time at all to check the forum for your posts._________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.
Legacy OS 4 Released! Install to newer legacy hardware / early EeePC's

Pidgin is now working nicely in Legacy Os-4 now,
I tested pidgin before on a machine which was connected to internet through
proxy server. I tried different puppy flavors to work pidgin on a proxy server setup. But no success. Thn tried on a direct Internet connection machine n this time it works nicely. So the problem is in pidgin Messenger, not in Legacy OS-4

Hi umair, I assume you are still running Legacy OS 4 Mini. Could you do me a favor and check (with a live cd, so as to not mess up your install) and see if you can change themes in icewm? I have tried to change from default and every time I do, it sends cpu to 100% and freezes up icewm. I have tried this on 2 different computers, and tried burning a new disc. Still the same results. Thanks, Rob

I tried legacyos 4 with my Intel graphics card, whenever I play a youtube video flash crashes when I do something else fairly intensive like loading another webpage, this doenst happen with legacyos 2 or other puppies so 'its a mystery'.

I would use one of those youtube downloader apps for puppy but they dont let you look at your subscriptions.

As Legacy OS 4 Mini is based on Puppy 4.2.1 if you have a copy see if youtube still crashes with that. When Legacy OS 4 Mini was released it came with Firefox 5.0 if you select "Help" in Firefox this will cause Firefox to start updating to a newer version until you end up with the current version 16.0.1 Maybe this will fix your crashing problem?

Also does it crash using Opera?

Hello umair & oligin10,
Icewm themes are stored at /usr/share/icewm/themes this is where they should be copied to.
A problem can arise because someone writing a theme normally creates it with the version of icewm which was available at the time the theme was written. This can lead to the theme not working 100% when it's run with a different version of icewm to the one it was created on.

One question is can you swap between the themes already included in legacy OS 4 Mini?_________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.

Hi John, thanks for noticing our question. No, I am only using your installed themes, making no changes, not even doing network setup. Theme switcher seems to be broken. If I try to change from your default theme, icewm refuses to restart with task bar or karamba. CPU usage seems to go to max, and that is as far as it gets. Task bar does not start at all, and karamba appears when right clicking on desktop, but then disappears. Theme switcher worked in 2010 Mini beta. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob
